As we've come to expect from Samsung's flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a top-tier handset in more ways than one — it's got a stunning design, it boasts cutting-edge AI features, it has an incredible camera array and it sports the best display of any handset on the market.

That said, you might be surprised to learn that the Galaxy S25 Ultra has one more area where it absolutely trounces the competition — gaming performance. It even bests Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max in several benchmark results.
